The yearly gathering of boats, rafts and floating art on Lake Champlain. A picnic. It is what you make it; anarchistically created by those who choose to participate. Like something between fortraits, ephemerisle and the ashby shoal.

• On Scuttlebutt at #champlemerisle
• Get in touch with trav or lauren if you want to get involved/added to the Signal group.
